Community Events Wall5:30-7:30 p.m.
A not-to-be-missed community event awaits you! There is no bidding on these outrageously fun-filled events offered for adults, children, or both, donated by our teachers and others from our community. Simply sign up wherever there is an open slot and for a fixed price, the experience is yours. Be sure to include your email address with your sign-up so that the event lead can contact you with details. Don’t dilly-dally, because spots for these coveted events fill up fast!

Silent Auctions
5:30-7:00 (silent #1-red tables)
5:30-7:15 (silent #2-blue tables)
Again this year we will have two silent auctions. While mingling with others from the community, you will be able to peruse the silent auction tables and place your bids on the accompanying bid sheets. Watch your bids throughout the evening and raise them as desired until each silent auction closes. You can also guarantee that you’ll win a particular item by writing your bid number next to the “Guaranteed Bid” price (generally 150 percent of the value reported by donor). When each silent auction closes, a member of the auction committee or a trained volunteer will circle the winning bid number on each bid sheet in that section.

Blue Line Bidding5:30-7:00 (silent #1-red tables)
5:30-7:15 (silent #2-blue tables)
Every silent auction bid sheet includes a Blue Line. If you place your bid on the Blue Line, you are automatically entered to win a $250 gift certificate to El Gaucho – even if you don’t win the item you are bidding on. The drawing will take place when the silent auction closes. Winner will be announced during the live auction.

Buy-It-Now Table
5:30-7:30 p.m. while items last
Items on the “Buy-It-Now” table are available for immediate purchase. Simply write down your bid number and the item is yours!

Grab-N-Go Boards
5:30-7:30 p.m. while items last
Gift cards hanging on the Grab-N-Go boards are available for purchase at their retail value. It’s money you’d likely spend at these businesses, anyway … only by purchasing them tonight you are supporting North Beach’s staff and students! Simply arrive early, grab a certificate, write your bid number on the back, and drop it off in the Grab-N-Go box. At the end of the evening, during check out, the gift card will be yours.

Live Auction
7:45-9:30 p.m.
Shortly after dinner has been served, the live auction with 19 highly valued items and packages will begin. Our auctioneer will describe each item available. To bid, simply raise your bid card toward the auctioneer, who will acknowledge and announce the highest bidder.

Heads or Tails
During Live Auction
For $25 per participant, you can play Heads or Tails for a chance to win a $200 gift card for an Ethan Stowell Restaurant. During the live auction our auctioneer will ask all Heads and Tails participants to stand up and put their hands on their heads … or their tails. The auctioneer will then flip a coin and call out either heads or tails. Those with their hands on the “winning end” stay standing … while others who’ve been eliminated sit down. This game continues until the number of players standing whittles down to a handful. The last player standing who’s selected the right “end” for the coin toss wins.

Gift Card Frenzy
During Live Auction
Midway through the live auction, our auctioneer will announce the gift cards available on a first-come, first-bid basis. Stay on top of your game, as we have an array of fabulous gift cards and the frenzy tends to go quickly. Restaurants and retailers include Poquitos, PCC, Shelter Lounge, American Girl Store, Stoneburner, Shell gas stations, Canlis Restaurant, and more. Gift cards may sell for more than face value during the live auction.

Dessert Dash
During Live AuctionCombine bids with the others at your table to claim one of the delicious desserts available at the auction. The table with the highest bid gets first chance at dashing to the dessert of your choice! You’ll need to be fast, though, to get your favorite dessert ... because the next winning table number will be called quickly. It’s called a DASH for a reason!
